Design of Over Head Tank for KLS VDIT Haliyal

The present work deals with the structural design and analysis of an Intze-type overhead water tank, which is one of the most commonly used systems for dependable water storage and distribution both in urban and rural areas. The configuration of the Intze tank, consisting of a top dome, cylindrical wall, conical dome, and a bottom ring girder, represents an extremely efficient structural form that reduces material consumption while maximizing strength and stability. An optimal determination of dimensions, reinforcement details, and supporting components has to be derived to resist safely the water load, self-weight, wind forces, and seismic effects within the stipulation of applicable design standards. A comprehensive structural analysis is performed to check all stresses, bending moments, and axial forces arising on each component of the tank. Great care has been taken to ensure durability, serviceability, and economy by selecting appropriate materials and reinforcement. The staging system design forms part of the project, which supports the tank at the desired height to give proper distribution pressure. In general, the aim is to provide a safe, economical, and strong overhead tank design with ample community water supply requirements and adhering to the latest engineering practices and provisions.
